Raimond is my guardian angel. He has rescued me on so many occasions. I am so grateful for meeting him here. He is a great host. On the first day of meeting him, he picked me and my bike up from Amsterdam and took me to a town by the beach. We also visited his friend to help him with computer problems.
The next day, his radio station he started had their 25th anniversary so I watched him be interviewed. I found his radio station fascinating! He dropped me to Amsterdam for some of my interviews, we went together to the casino, Saturday markets and I accompanied him to his storage place to drop some tables.
I felt very comfortable with him. I met a lot of his friends, exes, sauna buddies, taxi buddies, radio buddies. It was a great insight into his life. A life of a journalist. We played fun games too like anti-monopoly with his other friend Raymond. And I learnt a new game called rumico (something like that).
Raimond is great at whipping up a range of dishes that cost very little. Like me, he loves his specials. Thanks so much Raimond for your quirky sense of humour, and making me feel so at home. You are like family 🙂
Raimond is a fabulous host. He picked me up from Heemskerk. Joined his work in Beverwijk radio station (It is my first time to get in a radio station. How sensational it is). Hangout the town, bought cheap and fresh stuff on Wednesday market. Then showed me around the castle, green houses, steel park, beach, bush walk, helped me to sort out money problem, introduced me marvelous ice cream, dropped me to bus station . And we shared the food and did washing together.
He is extremely talented, really knowledgeable, relatively gentle and helpful. He is newspaper writer, a party equipment provider, a DJ, a radio host and so forth. Spending one day with him was quite short. There are so many things I can learn from him. And I am interested in and keen to learn new things. So I will definitely come back again in the future and stay longer. Highly recommend travelers to stay with him and welcome to China anytime! Thank you so much for everything, Raimond! Hope to see you again soon!
